Han Bin 6 million, Ji Ge 4 million, Xi Yan 3 million, Boss B 3 million, Thirteen Sister 2 million...
Adding it all up,
A total of 18 million!
Such a large sum,
Lu Wen Dong naturally had to explain it to Han Bin and the others,
mainly to reassure them.
“The renovation is expected to be completed within 2 months.”
Lu Wen Dong said: “The plans and everything have been finalized with the renovation team, they all agree there are no problems.”
“Out of these 18 million, 15 million will be used for the renovation.”
Lu Wen Dong had calculated carefully,
within 2 months,
it would definitely be possible to launder 15 million.
It would just mean a little more hard work for him,
checking the accounts more often each day,
keeping an eye on material procurement,
it wouldn't be a big problem.
“As for the remaining 3 million…”
Xi Yan was very straightforward,
he laughed and said: “Since I was the last to speak, I'll take the 3 million.”
Boss B said: “That wouldn’t be right.”
“It's okay, it's okay.”
Han Bin said: “Originally, we agreed on 3 months.”
Everyone thought about it, it was true,
Wen Dong had originally said 3 months.
“Wen Dong.”
Thirteen Sister asked: “Will this 3 million be wiped off during operation?”
“One month?”
She did some quick calculations,
that means their daily turnover would have to be at least 100 thousand.
That’s outrageous, right?
“What about the consumption?”
“800?”
Lu Wen Dong smiled: “No, no, my goal is to be affordable and high volume.”
His goal was very clear,
this restaurant was opened to launder money through high volume.
As long as there are many people eating,
it's easier to manipulate the accounts.
Otherwise,
if there aren't many people coming,
even if the prices are high, it wouldn't matter.
“300?”
Everyone shouted: “You would have to serve at least 300 customers a day? That’s impossible, right?”
Lu Wen Dong thought,
if it were that easy,
why would you even invest?
Moreover,
for a restaurant,
especially one that does buffet-style,
a daily customer flow of over 300 is still quite simple.
He smiled slightly: “This thing is difficult if you say it’s difficult, but not difficult if you say it’s not difficult.”
“This 3 million, part of it will be used for procurement, and the rest will be added to the turnover.”
Ji Ge said: “Actually, it’s fine, it’s all about laundering money anyway.”
“If it really doesn't work, we can call some people to come and create a hype at the opening.”
“They don’t even need to eat, just have a drink or something.”
“It’s our own people, no problem.”
Everyone agreed, nodding in unison: “Ji Ge, you're really clever.”
Lu Wen Dong said: “Thank you for your kind thoughts, boss.”
“Actually, I have complete confidence in this restaurant.”
Lu Wen Dong wouldn’t just say this for no reason,
he had observed carefully,
Hong Kong seems to have high salaries,
but the cost of living is also very high.
For example, the current average salary for Hong Kong people is over 5000,
but housing alone takes up almost 2000…
Adding transportation, communication, clothing, etc.,
It's hard for an individual to save any money.
It feels like there's an invisible hand in Hong Kong,
that directly designs the consumption patterns of most Hong Kongers.
It ensures that they won't starve,
But wanting to get rich?
It's very difficult!
Because of this,
Many Hong Kongers have to take on several jobs,
if it’s a woman,
after work,
they might have to go to a nightclub to work,
because of this,
terms like "tea dance" and "night dance" have been born.
And for men,
they might sell some fake goods or pirated products.
In such a high-intensity society,
Most Hong Kong people don't have time to cook their own meals,
they usually eat out.
And often, it’s just a quick bite,
so,
Hong Kong's characteristic dining - Bing Sutt (tea cafes) - was born.
But,
although Hong Kongers work hard,
they also value enjoyment.
They usually go out to eat something good once a week.
Lu Wen Dong is targeting this part of the market,
He explained: “Normal restaurants, 2-3 people, just a light meal, 5-600 is not unreasonable.”
Everyone nodded,
This is true.
When they go out for supper at night,
A few hundred dollars is nothing,
Over a thousand is normal.
“Now, my affordable buffet restaurant is priced at 300 HKD per person, drinks are unlimited.”
“What?”
Ji Ge shouted: “Wouldn't that be a huge loss?”
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions,
Ji Ge quickly said: “Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong.”
“Wen Dong, you continue.”
“No.”
Lu Wen Dong explained: “This is actually a standardized procurement business, the food cost is completely controllable.”
“As for drinks.”
He shrugged: “All of you bosses have clubs, I don’t need to say more.”
These people who work in this field,
each of them has nightclubs under their control,
on the one hand, it's for raising people,
on the other hand, it's for making money!
There's no way around it,
Hong Kong is currently the most dazzling nightlife city in Asia,
As long as you have money,
anything is possible!
Southeast Asian tycoons love to fly here to play!
